HOW & WHY WE STARTED

What is PACE?

• Plumbing

• Air (Sheet Metal)

• Carpentry

• Electric

Evolution to the PACE Program

• Invited partners to meet with us…– Apprenticeship Training Programs

• Pacific NW Carpenters Institute• NECA/IBEW (Electric)• Sheet Metal Institute• Plumbers & Steamfitters UA 290

– Associated General Contractors– P & C Construction– Portland Workforce Alliance

HOW CAN WE WORK TOGETHER?

What we heard…

• PPS is difficult to work with…• PPS has no “shop” programs• PPS only cares about preparing kids to go

to college• Connections to trades programs only exist

at Benson Tech (CTE flagship)

Questions to Consider

• Were partners interested?• What might it look like?• During or after school?• Space…where?• Costs?

– Tools & Materials?– Staff time?

• Plan for 2 summers?• Other???
